William in his swing!

This Summer we were given a hand -me-down swing set which Wayne stained and repaired. The twins love it!! I am able to get more work done in the garden while they swing or play in the sandbox. William is also able to sit in the little tykes toddler swing some some adaptions. The swinging motion is great for his under-developed vestibular system.

We have that same swing, and the twins still use it now at 25 months. (Actually, it's too hot to use it right now, but they do still fit in it.) I'm so glad William seems to like it! I love the pictures. Also, someone makes a larger, special-needs swing for the kids as they get larger--though it's pretty pricey (I want to say $200-$400). But I bet it would be worth it if he enjoys swinging like my twins do! http://www.smasupply.com/swings.html or http://www.backyardcity.com/swingsets/accessories/JennSwing.htm. Thanks for posting this--good to see more pics of the kids! They are beautiful.

Fall 2007

The beginning of "us"

My husband Wayne and I met at SUNY Geneseo while pursuing degrees in Geography (wayne) and Speech therapy (me). We married in rural Vermont during the winter of 2003. We enjoy outdoor activities; hiking, canoeing, and camping. I have a passion for reading and baking. I also experiment in gardening, cooking, and blogging :-)

Enter: the twins

William and Ella entered the world on August 3, 2007 twenty minutes apart weighing 7lbs 2oz and 5lbs 2oz. They are blond haired beauties, William with enchanting ringlets and Ella with silky smooth straight locks. Ella loves water; William does not. William loves sweets, especially ice cream; Ella does not. Ella is an early riser and William loves to stay up late. They are different in many ways yet share an incredible "twin bond." William has a rare brain malformation that has resulted in significant delays and health concerns including epilepsy and cortical blindness. These twins have made a tremendous impact on the lives around them; especially their mommy's! I love them both so much and each day I share with them is precious.
